This is known as Co-Borrower Release and by doing so, you ensure that the loan repayment is entirely yours.

Both of you are separate entities speaking from the loan perspective and you would hence need to take charge of repaying your loan off.

It is important to note that some banks do report deferred payments as delinquent. Therefore, it is crucial to ask lenders how they report to credit bureaus before entering into a contract.
